You just got up — and the only thing on your mind is your calendar and the terribly busy day planned.
Out of the time left of the day, outside your work, you consciously decide to spend time with kids and family. The balance one is spent on Twitter or LinkedIn, maybe scribbling some notes and watching a few more seasons on Netflix…and whoosh, the day is over. Sleep. Getup. Repeat.
Looks like most things are tick marked. You are becoming a ‘successful family man’.
Or are you? Are you, by any chance, still feeling that there is something missing? Something incomplete? Do you sometimes feel, that you are unable to talk to anybody or maybe you rather ‘figure it out yourself than be ‘weak’ to express it to others?
What about Friends? No — not the one with Jennifer Aniston, but the ‘real’ ones in your life.
If I asked you if you felt lonely, you would most likely rubbish it — Nonsense! Not me — I am happy!
Incidentally, data says something else.?

2 年Thanks for sharing.. A lot of things are relatable and there is comfort In knowing that one is not battling this challenge alone, just that the other warriors were invisible so far..

2 年Very profound and interesting writeup. A topic that is really required in these times. I think the advent of social media has also resulted in the percentage of having close friends and even the spouse compatibility factor reducing.
